Summary: Garbage printed with "no such file or directory" Project: findutils Submitted by: jimc Submitted on: Tue 21 Mar 2017 10:01:29 PM UTC Category: find Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Wrong result Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: j...@savannah.gnu.org Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: 4.5.12 Fixed Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: This is for findutils-4.5.12 from OpenSuSE "Leap" 42.1. When I do: find /etc/acpi /nonexistent -print > /tmp/find.out 2>&1 cat -v /tmp/find.out It prints the filenames in the existing directory, plus on stderr it prints find: M-bM-^@M-^X/nonexistentM-bM-^@M-^Y: No such file or directory When output is sent direct to the terminal we do not see ^@ ^X or ^Y but very likely they are being written. "cat -v" is needed to show the incorrect output consistently. Any existing directory can be used to demonstrate the bug. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50606> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
